She´s an awesome actress, and she would play a PERFECT Storm in the MCU, if they decide to include the X-Men one day.

The way she talked about James McAvoy really warmed my heart. You can tell she has immense respect for him.

Dang was hoping she would talk about the blood on the face scene. If Leo actually cut himself and then rubbed his actual blood on her face. I am sorry. As crazy as that moment was, that is very wrong for him to do it.
